Positioning
Install the machine on a flat hard floor.
Make sure that air circulation around the
machine is not impeded by carpets, rugs etc.
Check that the machine does not touch the wall
or other kitchen units.
Carefully level by screwing the adjustable feet in
or out. Never place cardboard, wood or similar
materials under the machine to compensate for
any unevenness in the floor.
Water inlet
Connect the water inlet hose supplied with the
machine to a tap with a
3
/
4
" thread.
Do not use already employed inlet hoses.
The other end of the inlet hose which connects
to the machine can be turned in any direction.
Simply loosen the fitting, rotate the hose and
retighten the fitting, making sure there are no
water leaks.
The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it is
too short and you do not wish to move the tap,
you will have to purchase a new, longer hose
specially designed for this type of use.
Water drainage
The end of the drain hose can be positioned in
three ways:
Hooked over the edge of a sink using the
plastic hose guide supplied with the
machine. In this case, make sure the end
cannot come unhooked when the machine is
emptying.
This could be done by tying it to the tap with a
piece of string or attaching it to the wall.
In a sink drain pipe branch. This branch must
be above the trap so that the bend is at least 60
cm above the ground.
Directly into a drain pipe at a height of not
less than 60 cm and not more than 90 cm.
The end of the drain hose must always be
ventilated, i.e. the inside diameter of the drain
pipe must be larger than the outside diameter of
the drain hose.
The drain hose must not be kinked. Run it along
the floor; only the part near the drainage point
must be raised.

a) Door
The dimensions of the door should be:
- width 595-598 mm
- thickness 16-22 mm
The height (C-Fig. C) depends on the height of
the adjacent furniture's base.
b) Hinges
To mount the hinges it is necessary to drill two
holes (dia. 35 mm, depth 14 mm) on the inner
side of the door. The distance between the holes
must be 416 mm.
The distance (B) from upper edge of the door to
the centre of the hole depends on the adjacent
furniture's dimensions.
The required dimensions are given in the picture
C.
The hinges will be fixed to the door by means of
screws for wood (2-Fig. B).
c) Mounting the door
Fix the hinges to the machine by means of the
M5x8 screws (3-Fig. B). The hinges can be
adjusted to compensate for possible uneven
thickness of the door.
To align the door perfectly it is necessary to
loosen the screw (3-Fig. B), adjust the door and
tighten the screw again.

Washing hints
Sorting the laundry
Follow the wash code symbols on each garment
label and the manufacturer’s washing
instructions.
Sort the laundry as follows:
whites, coloureds, synthetics, delicates, woollens.
Temperatures
90°
for normally soiled white cottons and
linen (e.g. tea cloths, towels,
tablecloths, sheets...)
60° for normally soiled, colour fast
garments (e.g. shirts, night dresses,
pyjamas....) in linen, cotton or
synthetic fibres and for lightly soiled
white cotton (e.g. underwear).
(cold)
30°-40°
for delicate items (e.g. net curtains),
mixed laundry including synthetic
fibres and woollens bearing the label
«pure new wool, machine washable,
non-shrink»
Before loading the laundry
Never wash whites and coloureds together.
Whites may lose their “whiteness” in the wash.
New coloured items may run in the first wash;
they should therefore be washed separately the
first time.
Make sure that no metal objects are left in the
laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins, pins).
Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks
and poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes.
Remove persistent stains before washing. Rub
particularly soiled areas with a special detergent
or detergent paste.
Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks
or tie them up in a bag or net.
Maximum loads
Recommended loads are indicated in the
programme charts.
General rules:
cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly packed
synthetics: drum no more than half full
delicate fabrics and woollens: drum no more
than one third full
Washing a maximum load makes the most
efficient use of water and energy.
For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load size.
Laundry weights
The following weights are indicative:
bathrobe 1200 g
napkin 100 g
quilt cover 700 g
sheet 500 g
pillow case 200 g
tablecloth 250 g
towelling towel 200 g
tea cloth 100 g
night dress 200 g
ladies’ briefs 100 g
man’s work shirt 600 g
man’s shirt 200 g
man’s pyjamas 500 g
blouse 100 g
men’s underpants 100 g
Removing stains
Stubborn stains may not be removed by just
water and detergent. It is therefore advisable to
treat them prior to washing.
Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water. For
dried stains, soak overnight in water with a
special detergent then rub in the soap and water.
Oil based paint: moisten with benzine stain
remover, lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab
the stain; treat several times.
Dried grease stains: moisten with turpentine,
lay the garment on a soft surface and dab the
stain with the fingertips and a cotton cloth.
Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or a rust
removing product used cold. Be careful with rust
stains which are not recent since the cellulose
structure will already have been damaged and
the fabric tends to hole.
Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well
(whites and fast coloureds only).
Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites
and fast coloureds only).
Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone
(*), lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the
stain.
i
124976224 FI873-1073.qxd 3/13/02 3:59 PM Pagina 32 (Nero/Process Black pellicola)
33
ENGLISH
Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then
treat stains with methylated spirits. Remove any
residual marks from white fabrics with bleach.
Red wine: soak in water and detergent, rinse
and treat with acetic or citric acid, then rinse.
Treat any residual marks with bleach.
Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the
fabric first with acetone (*), then with acetic acid;
treat any residual marks on white fabrics with
bleach and then rinse thoroughly.
Tar stains: first treat with stain remover,
methylated spirits or benzine, then rub with
detergent paste.
(*) do not use acetone on artificial silk
Detergents and additives
Good washing results also depend on the choice
of detergent and use of the correct quantities to
avoid waste and protect the environment.
Although biodegradable, detergents contain
substances which, in large quantities, can upset
the delicate balance of nature.
The choice of detergent will depend on the type
of fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.), the
colour, washing temperature and degree of
soiling.
All commonly available washing machine
detergents may be used in this appliance:
powder detergents for all types of fabric,
powder detergents for delicate fabrics (60°C
max) and woollens,
liquid detergents, preferably for low
temperature wash programmes (60°C max) for
all types of fabric, or special for woollens only.
The detergent and any additives must be placed
in the appropriate compartments of the dispenser
drawer before starting the wash programme.
If using concentrated powder or liquid detergents,
a programme without prewash must be selected.
Pour liquid detergent into the dispenser drawer
compartment marked just before starting the
programme.
Any fabric softener or starching additives must be
poured into the compartment marked before
starting the wash programme.
The bleaching agent (chlorine) can be used only
for white or fast coloured cotton and linen items.
Pour it into the compartment marked .
Follow the product manufacturer’s
recommendations on quantities to use.
Quantity of detergent to be used
The type and quantity of detergent will depend on
the type of fabric, load size, degree of soiling and
hardness of the water used.
Water hardness is classified in so-called
“degrees” of hardness. Information on hardness
of the water in your area can be obtained from
the relevant water supply company, or from your
local authority.
Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions on
quantities to use.
Use less detergent if:
you are washing a small load
the laundry is lightly soiled
large amounts of foam form during washing.

1. Bodywork
Clean the outside of the machine with warm
water and a neutral, non-abrasive household
detergent. Rinse with clean water and dry with a
soft cloth.
Important: do not use methylated spirits,
solvents or similar products to clean the
bodywork.
2. Detergent dispenser drawer
After a while, detergents and fabric softeners
leave deposits in the drawer.
Clean the drawer from time to time by rinsing it
under a running tap. To remove the drawer from
the machine, press the button in the rear left-
hand corner.
To facilitate cleaning, the top part of the additive
compartments can be removed.
Detergent can also eventually accumulate inside
the drawer recess: clean it with an old
toothbrush. Refit the drawer after cleaning.
3. Water inlet filter
If you notice that the machine is taking longer to
fill, check that the filter in the water inlet hose is
not blocked.
Turn off the water tap.
Unscrew the hose from the tap.
Clean the filter with a stiff brush.
Screw the hose back onto the tap.

4. Drain filter
T
he drain filter collects threads and small objects
inadvertently left in the laundry. Check regularly
that the filter is clean.
Place a container under the filter and unscrew it.
Pull out the filter.
Clean the filter under a running tap, then refit it,
screwing it fully in.
5. Emergency emptying out
If the water is not discharged (drain pump is
blocked, filter or drain hose are clogged),
proceed as follows to empty out the machine:
pull out the plug from the power socket;
close the water tap;
if necessary, wait until the water has cooled
down;
place a bowl on the floor;
put the drain hose end into the bowl and let
the water come out.
Should it not be possible to have access to the
drain hose because, for example, the appliance
is built in the kitchen furniture, slightly loosen the
drain filter after placing a bowl on the floor, to let
the water come out slowly.
At the end screw the filter again.

6. The dangers of freezing
If the machine is exposed to temperatures below
0°C, certain precautions should be taken.
Turn off the water tap.
Unscrew the inlet hose.
Unhook the drain hose from the rear support
and position the end of this hose and that of
the inlet hose in a bowl. Run the draining
programme until the selector dial is in the
“Stop” position.
Disconnect the appliance.
Screw the inlet hose and reposition the drain
hose.
When you intend to start the machine up
again, make sure that the room temperature
is above 0°C.
